i am wolf blitzer in the cnn election center. up first, the results of cnn's final national poll before the election, and it can't get any tighter than this. look at this, a 49 to 49% tie, a tie among likely voters given the poll sampling error, the popular vote could go either way. 96% of those surveyed say their minds are made up and even now 4% of likely voters out there say they can still change their minds. look at this. registered voters in both parties are equally enthusiastic. 70% of democrats and republicans say they're extremely or very enthusiastic about voting. in the end, who wins the popular vote isn't as important as the race to collect the 270 electoral college votes that will determine the white house. our chief national correspondent john king is over here at the magic wall and the popular vote is one thing. the battleground states very different. >> you have to say wow, we have a dead heat, a nail biter going into the final 48 hours. we're not going to get a map like this. the president had a blowout election f
